In his blog, Amitabh shared: “The happiest father in the entire Universe... Abhishek, you are the pride and honor of the family. You uphold the legacy that Dada ji established, carrying it forward with valor and hard work. Your consistency, refusal to give in, and your spirit of:
“Tum mujhe jitna giraoge, main apne parishram se fir khada ho jaunga, aur, aur bhi uncha khada hounga. Samay laga lekin tumne haar nahi maani. Apne bal par duniya ko tumne dikha diya.
“(The more you try to bring me down, the more I will stand again with my hard work—stronger, taller, and higher. It took time, but you never gave up. With your own strength, you showed the whole world your worth.)”

“Those who have acknowledged your talent may be separated by 'ocean waters'... but trust me, our own 'waterways of oceans' shall one day embrace you in their surging waves,” he stated.
Amitabh reminisced about a time when his praise for Abhishek's performance was met with skepticism from critics who accused him of being a biased father.
“Years ago, I celebrated your incredible performance in a film, and critics mocked my parental pride... Their scornful laughter has now been replaced by respect and admiration,” he remarked.
In a heartfelt conclusion, Amitabh stated: “Victories often come with a high price, but the rewards are even greater. You, Abhishek, have just proven that... chup chaap rehna aur apni mauj main behna (To stay quiet and flow in your own vibe) with all my love... a very proud father and family.
